Calling all Photography nerds!

Beautiful!!

 

Fantastic! Where is this?

 

Kauai

 

Awesome sea scapes, I happened to get a nice meteor last weekend while on the top of bald mountain where the fire lookout is.

 

New Tacoma owner, Nikon shooter. Looking forward to getting some cool truck shots!

 

Got a cool shot of the spacex rocket launch last night. Hand held at 142mm. 5D MarkIV + 70-200mm f2.8 L IS ii

 

Some of the photos from last night are insane

 

Couple weeks ago sunset in the back bay

 

Running away from the thunderstorm this past Saturday by driving toward it on Globe Mine Road in Mojave National Preserve. I was hoping with 40% cloud cover forecast and 10% Thunderstorm forecast I could find an opening for the Milky Way, NOT!

Cruising the fall backroads in Ontario, CAN

 

What's the body of water at the end on the lane?

Very nice shot

 

Thanks!
That's Colpoys Bay. The shot is looking north from near Kemble (SE of Wiarton)

Solid plan, get them to buy themselves a decent camera too so you don't have to risk anything with your Mk4 lol

 

I have a 5D Mark II I dont mind letting someone use. That camera has a special place in my heart though.. Such good color science on that sensor.

 

Did you photograph the lightning instead?! ah damn just noticed that this was posted on the 8th.. last weekend we had an awesome thunder storm display in barstow, I stayed up till 5:30am shooting the lightning!

 

I love my 5D II!

 

I swear, 80% of the time Im shooting time lapse, the Mark II composition comes out better than what I was trying to shoot with the Mark IV. hahaha I think I try too hard with the first camera and the backup comp always turns out nicer LOL!

 

The 5D Canon series is absolutely amazing but I wouldn't trade anything for my full-frame Pentax K-1. The lenses are so well made, the camera is so well made, it actually has a verified weather-proofing that I can actually test instead of taking a Canon out in a downpour and have it be destroyed. Not to mention the lenses are exceptionally cheap and professional quality. I'd rather pay my $1500 for a 24-70 f2.8 instead of $3000 at Canon or Nikon's latest price hike and still get the same quality lol!

 

Maybe your eye cant notice a difference, but I doubt its the same quality. You'd need to compare them in benchmark testings done in a lab. There really is a reason L glass is expensive.. Edge sharpness, contrast, chromatic aberrations, coma, and lens flare are all things to consider when ranking a lens. (For me at least)

Also color science and focusing system are no comparison when lined up against a canon.

Having said that I used to use an old Pentax K1000 35mm film camera. Had a lot of fun with that thing in Jr high about 15 years ago lol camera was solid as hell haha.
